WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- 9News reporter Bruce Johnson says former DC council chairman Kwame Brown reported to court on Tuesday morning to explain why he hasn't been checking in once a week with the court.

Kwame Brown had failed to report by phone to pre-trial sentencing three times, reports Bruce Johnson.As you may remember, the weekly check-ins were a condition of Brown's release after he was convicted of bank fraud.

The judge gave Brown an 11 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. curfew. He told Brown his apology was too late.

Johnson reports that Brown apparently left the courthouse by cab, avoiding reporters. His attorney Fred Cooke did not make any remarks.
